with the rumours of Utd looking to complete the signings of Trippier and Varane for a reported 68 million added to the 73 spent of Sancho, do you guys think that will be it in regards to incomings this season?
i think most will agree we still need that top cm at the club, but with us possibly spending 140 million on the 3 mentioned, unless we have some significant outgoings, i cant see much more being spent.
the camavinga rumours are still floating around but despite rating him as a player, its not what we really need right now in terms of immediate impact
will that be it?

I wouldnt say he was a defensive midfielder as such, more of a box to box player.
he carries the ball well but doesnt offer a great goal threat.
defo more of a pogba type player than a kante one
.....................
He is only 18 and we really need the finished article. By all means he will be worth a punt as a player for the future.

We are not going to ship Jones out. He needs to retire from professional football.

I’m a dreamer. I want us to let him go, so he can flourish at a team like WBA. Then pundits can bang on about how we wasted his Baresi-like talent.

Forgot about Periera, he won't be getting a minute of first team football so another loan or sale if anyone will take him.

if its for 30 million he needs snapping up, the kid is a real talent.

He's a very good tackler and could develop into a 6 if that's the direction he wanted to go in. Completes more tackles and pressures per 90 than Kante, though Kante is the superior interceptor. Could always be a style thing to a degree though, with Rennes having less of the ball and needing to win it back rather than cut it out.
At 18 the kid has all the tools to be a world class midfielder. It doesn't seem like we're chomping at the bit to bring him in, maybe he does just prefer a move elsewhere. Would be a real shame though, at that sort of price you don't want to lose out on talent like that. Similar to Bellingham, his value will likely increase significantly over the next 3/4 years.

Hopefully the likes of Lingard, Pereira, Dalot and possibly James could generate some income to buy a midfielder.

Ole doesn't want another midfielder.
McTominay is starting as the sitting player, with Bruno and Pogba making up a 3. Lingard and van de Beek are back ups to Pogba and Fernandez and Fred is the ball winner option and back up to McTominay - who is vice captain next season.
James Garner is also staying at the club until at least January.
There won't be any midfielders coming in as things stand.

Something has to give with our squad. Sancho, Varane and Trippier aren't going to come cheap in wages either nevermind just the transfer fees. And we are apparently offering Pogba over 400k a week to stay too. Also kept Mata on the books despite him hardly getting a game and he's on big money.
Where is the magic money tree is what I want to know. Something doesn't add up to me. I really hope we aren't the next Barca in the making.

Pogba will not be getting 400K per week. We have supposedly moved away from stupid salaries.

Let's hope so. That would be a really dumb move giving him that much.
He is supposedly already on 290 though.
